The History of Plus Size Lingerie: From Taboo to Empowerment

For a long time, plus-size lingerie has been considered taboo, and society has tried to dictate how women should look and what they should wear. However, over the years, women have gained more control over their bodies and their self-expression.

Out with the standardised perception of beauty created by major media outlets and hello to embracing women for who they truly are. Which are beautiful and curvaceous beings.

This positive body movement led to the rise of Naked Curve, a brand that focuses on offering lingerie for women of all sizes.

You may find it unbelievable that women’s curves were not appreciated before the late 2000s. However, better late than never. In this blog post, we will delve into the history of plus-size lingerie and explore how it transformed from a taboo to an empowerment tool for women.

The Evolution of Plus Size Lingerie

Plus-size lingerie has evolved throughout the years, just like fashion itself. In the 1800s, plus-size women had limited options, and lingerie was not made to accommodate different body types.

Luckily, the 1920s brought about the flapper era that allowed women of all sizes to dress more comfortably, and lingerie became more inclusive.

However, it wasn't until the 1960s that plus-size lingerie began to break out. This era of Babydoll lingerie was airy and light, catering to women of all sizes. Brands started to produce lingerie that catered to a broader size range, and women with curves had more options.

In the 1980s and 1990s, lingerie became more risqué with the introduction of lingerie sets that highlighted curves. Brands started embracing sex appeal and creating lingerie that was not just comfortable but also visually appealing.

Lingerie Today

Fast forward to today, plus-size lingerie has never been more inclusive. Brands like Naked Curve are creating lingerie for sizes up to size 22. The accessibility to extended sizes has meant that women of all body types can feel sexy and confident in the bedroom.

Naked Curve, in particular, has created a buzzing community with its message of creating sexy lingerie for all.

The Power of Branded Lingerie

When it comes to lingerie branding, companies have found a powerful tool for empowering women. Lingerie sets have become more than just bedroom attire. They have become a symbol of self-love, body positivity, and confidence.

Naked Curve has created sets specifically designed for curvier women; the name speaks to empowerment. By owning a branded lingerie set, you’re not just owning underwear. You’re owning a piece of positive representation and inclusive fashion for all types of bodies.

The Future of Inclusive Lingerie

As plus-size fashion continues to grow, lingerie must become more accessible to all. Naked Curve has led the way in celebrating curvy lingerie for all shapes and sizes. We have been championing the need for size inclusivity in the industry and making sexy lingerie more accessible for women.

Companies like Naked Curve play a big role in empowering curvy women as we continue to champion body positivity and inclusivity in the fashion industry. From Babydoll lingerie to sexy red lingerie and mouth-watering lingerie sets, there is now a range of options for all women.

The future of inclusive lingerie is exciting, and we must continue to celebrate and support brands promoting inclusivity and self-love.

With love,

Naked Curve
